A Colt Detective Special was the first handgun I purchased in my younger years, which I foolishly sold a few months later after getting nervous and never having fired it. It turned out to be the last style (mid 90's) Colt would produce.

I recently saw one online new in box and the seller wanted $900 I'd love to have one again, just to correct an old error, but that is a little steep! According to the price guides, I shouldn't be paying close to that much for it, but from my experience price guides in general tend to be on the useless side.
